Carier start

George Chanturia was born on April 11, 1993 inGeorgia in the city of Tbilisi, and from the age of 11 started playing football at the academy of a small local club called "Saburtalo". He spent five years there, and during that time he saw a huge talent. In 2009, he was loaned for a season to the youth of Barcelona, ​​where he returned only to move permanently to another youth academy of the European club - the Dutch "Vitesse". There he spent one year, and in 2011 he signed a professional contract with the club. In the first season he got a place in the base and played 31 matches, scoring 4 goals. However, the next season began for the player unsuccessfully, and he spent only four games in six months - in the second half of the season he was loaned to "Alania", for which he played only six matches. Returning, George Chanturia continued performances for "Vitesse", but without much success - for six months he played 12 matches and scored two goals. As a result, in the winter of 2014 it was decided to sell it for one million euros to the Romanian "CFR Cluj".

Going to Cluj

George Chanturia - a footballer who originallywas considered just an incredible talent, but gradually the enthusiasm died down, and the player moved to weaker and weaker teams. In the "CFR" he played seven games in the remaining half of the season, scoring only one goal. As a result, in the summer of 2014 he was sold to the Italian "Verona".

Going to Verona and returning to the CFR

Three months passed and Chanturia was returned to the"Cluj" on loan, as its form was far from ideal. He played 26 games, scoring 6 goals, but even this was not impressed by the leadership of Verona, so the contract with the Georgian was not extended.
